Gusicella Schlagintweit & Rashidi, 2021 (type species Dictyoconella minima Henson, 1948), Upper Cretaceous Larger Benthic Foraminifer and its species
Based on new material from the middle to upper Cenomanian Natih Formation (members A and B) from Oman, the little-known species Gusicella minima (Henson), originally described from the Mishrif Formation of Qatar (Dukhan wells) is redescribed. Late Maastrichtian specimens from the Tarbur Formation of...

| Resumo: | Based on new material from the middle to upper Cenomanian Natih Formation (members A and B) from Oman, the little-known species Gusicella minima (Henson), originally described from the Mishrif Formation of Qatar (Dukhan wells) is redescribed. Late Maastrichtian specimens from the Tarbur Formation of SW Iran previously assigned to the Cenomanian species display a more complex marginal zone and are therefore introduced as Gusicella complexa Schlagintweit & Rashidi sp. nov. Representatives of Gusicella have so far only been reported from the Arabian Plate, showing its endemic character. There is no record of the genus so far from the Turonian to early Maastrichtian interval. |
